December 1972. Vol. 13, NO. 6

THE CRA FTSMA N'S COOKBOOK, a new publication of the American Crafts Coun­ cil, makes Its debut this December. The 192-page book contai ns 160 recipes gathered from contemporary craftsmen throughout the country. Recipes cover hors d'oeuvres, sou ps, sa lads, breads, main courses, vegtables, relishes, and desserts. The recipes reflect much about contemporary American craftsmen­ their imagination as cooks, their travel to other lands and interest in national cuisines, and thei r own ancestry. The selection of recipes and their testing aimed at producing a special and thoroughly professional cookbook. The design, too, is special. Text is prin ted on beige stock with ample mar­ gins intended to give the cook space fo r notes. The book is 7 x 10 and spiral bound for easy use. A recipe index plus biographica l notes on the 106 contribut­ ing craftsmen are added features. Press coverage to date on THE CRAFTSMAN'S COOKBOOK includes editorials in The New York Times, the November 1 issue of Vogue, and the December issues of Natural Uving (a new health food magazine) , House & Garden, Good Houskeeping, and House Beautiful. Copies of THE CRAFTSMA N'S COOK­ BOOK are being sold at MCC and by mail. ACC member price is $4.95 post­ paid. Non-member price is $5.95 post­ paid. Remittance is required on mail orders.
